Quagga Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) SNIPNow to the shop just down the road from them, I hope you have a breakdown and people treat you with the same k#k attitude you did me.Is that the shop that also has a "club" and they ride like they own the road?#WhyMotoristshateus Edited January 30, 2020 by Quagga
Wannabe Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 Is that the shop that also has a "club" and they ride like they own the road?#WhyMotoristshateus Care to expand on this statement? I ride with them most weekends (if it's the same "club" you are referring to) and I ride mostly at the back, like a gatekeeper. The ride policy is that where there is a yellow line, no riding to the right of the line is allowed, unless there is a obstacle to be avoided, or cyclist to be overtaken. Only then do they ride in the "roadway" for the time needed to clear the obstacle, and then they move back into the yellow line.Where there is no yellow line, single file riding is enforced, quite strictly so. It is unfortunately not possible to do this 100% of the time, but they do not ride like they own the road, as you claim. Skubarra and Andrew_Smith 2
Jbr Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) can't tell anything about the said "club", but last time I rode your side (wellington road) there was a group of about 100 mtbs (???) riding sometimes 3 next to each other, forcing me to go on the road to overtake them, which took a while as they were so many. In the meantime every car around was obviously hooting at me (like I'm not allowed to overtake like any other vehicule on the road). I've always hated cyclists for that specific reason, now that I am also a cyclist, I hate it even more when I have to ride on the right side of the yellow line because some a*oles own the road and won't do the right thing and ride behind one another to allow faster riders to safely pass Also, what it is with durbanville people, 90% of the cyclists ride fancy MTB's on the road ? I do sometimes connect trails using a little stretch of road, but that last ride I did I was in the middle of nowhere and almost all the other cyclists I've seen where on MTBs, don't think there were nice trails anywhere close To come back to the initial subject, only "giant shop" I know is the cyclery, and I'm 100% happy with their service, had a dropper seatpost fitted there one, then a major service done to my racebike. My front derailer broke during the service, they lent me a spare front derailer so that I could race the stellies tour (or not ) while they waited for the replacement to be shipped from campagnolo. That's proper service Edited January 30, 2020 by Jbr Wannabe and Quagga 2
Wannabe Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 Jbr, not this group, they are mostly roadies. Yeah, but where else can you brag with your fancy MTB than on the road? I mean, on the trails it will get dusty and dirty..... Reg Lizard and MDJ 2

SEE PIC1 It is unfortunately not possible to do this 100% of the time, but they do not ride like they own the road, as you claim. Was not the case when I rode with them. No respect for road rules, more than one red light skipped when the group splitNogal with the words "ROLLING" as they just went. Side by side in yellow (I am all good with that) but then someone taking pics and video with his phone riding next to the others. I addressed this on the group and then later a video was posted and I commented "idiots" EDIT: Since I was accused of stealing the pics, here they are now at their original location on Facebookhttps://scontent.fjnb10-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/82874280_3354570577946618_8798951258518978560_o.jpg?_nc_cat=102&_nc_ohc=4d2SKxZsCnYAX-0rtJf&_nc_ht=scontent.fjnb10-1.fna&oh=f49a9ddabfef7e8ef82172350bff63c3&oe=5ED55DBC https://scontent.fjnb10-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/82289956_3354570354613307_261556000723566592_o.jpg?_nc_cat=107&_nc_ohc=2nOE0ZPpdVUAX8jn6Cu&_nc_ht=scontent.fjnb10-1.fna&oh=b46b0002ad1ce0b80c1cc62a0986e1c3&oe=5ED1D1F5 I was told to stop making negative comments?So they see this as funny ? A roadie doing that speed while filming with his cell ? Can not upload the vid, but here are some screenshots Edit: I removed the pictures and added the url's Edited January 30, 2020 by Quagga
Wannabe Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 I wanted to post the question "Coenie is that you?" Was that vid of the oke on the "crawler" taken by one of the guys of this club? Nah, not worth the effort to rehash this. You are of your conviction, no amount of debate will change it.

This is technically Crimen injuria and can cost you dearly my friend. Your ego seems to be bigger than your IQ.

Skubarra Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 that last photo is worthy of a Darwin award Actually no, that road is dead quiet and the distance to the corner is much further than what it might look on the pic. - In my view that pic is harmless unless you are digging for reasons to bash that group. I think Quagga's heart is in the right place re road safety but he seems to have a long history of antagonising people who really should be on his side. MTBeer, Wannabe, Andrew_Smith and 2 others 5
